WITNESS June 4, 1935. 5 w MENGER 2,003,896
HORN MOUNT Filed June 12, 1934 INVENTORY ZZWMerggefi ATTORN EYS Patented June 4, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 3 Claims.
My invention relates to improvements in horn mounts, particularly for mounting deer horns, and it consists in the combinations, constructions and arrangements herein described and claimed.
An object of my invention is to provide a horn mount by means of which horns may be securely mounted in an ornamental manner, the mounting means being so constructed as to fit horns of vanous sizes.
A further object is to provide a horn mount consisting of comparatively few pieces as distinguished from other mounts which are more complicated and require more accurate adjustment to effect the ornamental mounting.
A further object is to provide a horn mount in which the horns only are exposed, the intervening skull portion being completely concealed.
A further object is to provide a horn mount in which the skull portion requires no exact trimming, but in which the skull portion may vary considerably in size, so as to accommodate horns of greater or less size.
Other objects and advantages will appear in the following specification, and the novel features in the appended claims.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming part of this application, in which:
Figure 1 is a front view showing a pair of deer horns mounted in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a central section through the mounting means along the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, and
Figure 3 is a rear view of the device.
In carrying out my invention I make use of a single plate which is cast, stamped or otherwise fabricated. The body portion of this plate is shown at I. In the present instance it is substantially of triangular shape, as shown in the drawing, and is provided with an embossed or bowed-out portion 2 at the upper part thereof. The embossed portion, as will be seen from the drawing, has two recesses 3, the inner edges of these recesses forming edges of an extension 4.
The body portion has sides 5 and 6 which are fashioned in ornamental shape and at the apex of the triangle where the sides join there is an edge 1 which, it will be observed, tends, with the sides, to tilt the body portion I at an angle 50 to the wall 8. The rear face of the extension 4 and the rear edges of the sides 5 and 6 are in a common plane, as will be seen from Fig. 2.
From the foregoing description of the various parts of the device, the operation thereof 55 may be readily understood. In Fig. 1, I have shown horns 9 and I0, and these horns, as will be seen from Fig. 3, are attached to a portion II of the skull of the animal.
In mounting the horns the latter are placed of the invention will be particularly pointed out in the recesses 3 and are moved downwardly until the base portions 9a and Illa engage the edges of the recesses. A bolt I3 is passed through the center of the embossed portion 2 and through the skull portion II. A plate or Washer I2 is slipped over the bolt and a nut I4 is tightened to hold the skull portion firmly against the curved inner surface of the embossed member 2.
It will be observed that the recesses are of substantially V-shape. If the horns were larger they would contact more with the edges of the recesses 3 and the lower part of the skull portion can be trimmed to engage the inner face of the embossed member 2 so that larger horns can be mounted.
It will be noted that while there is only one bolt, there is no pivotal movement because the horns bear against the edges of the recesses, thus holding them firmly at two points while the skull portion is held by the bolt.
An opening 4a is provided in the extension 4 so that a single nail or screw will serve to suspend the device. Since the point of suspension is at the rear, the mount will always hug the wall closely.
I claim:
1. A horn mount comprising a body portion between the horns, means for securing the skull portion to the rear of the embossed portion, and means for suspending the mount from the extension.
3. A mount for deer horns and the like having a connecting skull piece, said mount comprising a plate having tapered sides for inclining the plate at an angle to the wall, said plate having an outwardly bowed or embossed portion, and an extension integral with said embossed portion, said embossed portion having opposed recesses of substantially V-shape for receiving the horns, the rear of said embossed, portion being adapted to receive the skull piece, a bolt arranged to pass through the embossed portion and through the skull piece, and a nut on the bolt for forcing the skull piece toward the rear face of the embossed portion.
